From Brad Bradley Jones: a school gardening program🌱
From Chef Kevin Kevin Fonzo: a healthy school lunch program🍽️
From Sarah Sarah Ditmars Cahill: a nutritional science cooking lab🧑‍🍳

That’s when AdventHealth and Emeril Lagasse Foundation got interested in what we were doing at Orlando Junior Academy and wanted to see it grow.

This work became possible when our community decided to help students connect with real food. You can keep it going by attending a class, telling your friends, or giving a gift that helps us teach more kids.

Grateful to our founders on this ! And looking forward to growing the seed they planted over a decade ago🌱💚
